Here is another chapter! Hope you guys like it and thanks to all the reviews! Don't hate me for this chapter contains Oc/ Lucius.

It was the 23rd of December, and Milly was left with their house elf inside the prestigious manor of the Mortox family. Her father and brother were both in the ministry and her mother went to the Malfoys. The Mortox manor was located near knockturn alley. It looks stupendously inside and outside of it. It wasn't a surprise that the Mortox's could afford that manor because all of them were rich. The Mortox's was first known when one of its members became the minister of magic, which was a very long time ago. Like the Blacks and Malfoys, they encourage other purebloods to maintain the purity of their bloodline. But Milly and Sirius were absolutely different from their families. They do not care if a witch or wizard is a muggle born or not. Inside the manor, Milly was properly dressed and anxiously waiting for his brother to come. Whether Milly like it or not, she have no other option but to wear a dress. It was like a tradition to the siblings to visit diagon alley every 23rd of December to buy gifts for their friends. This time, Milly have no idea that their tradition won't followed this year.

"Turdy, do you think my brother will ever come?" Milly asked as she sat on their couch.

"Yes misstress. He was only 10 minutes late. I'm sure master Merrick have a good reason why he's late" Turdy smiled to Milly. Turdy has been in the Mortox family before Millicent was born. Milly was about to say something when she heard a knock on the door. A grin spread on her face. That must be him!

"I'll get it."Milly whispered at Turdy. Milly excitedly run towards the door. As she opened it, she was surprise that it wasn't her brother. It was no other than Lucius.

"Are you not happy to see me?" He asked Milly. He was wearing an expensive looking robe like he usually does or any rich pureblood does. The tie between the pureblood families who wanted their bloodline to remain pure was unbreakable.

"Of course, I'm happy to see you. I'm just expecting your best friend to come." Milly sighed. She was disappointed that her brother didn't come on time. Merrick was known for being fashionable late. But he was only minutes late whenever he and Milly would go buy some gifts for Christmas. Milly smiled at Lucius and gestured for him to come in.

"Looks like your brother can't come with you." He said as he walked inside the manor.

"Why? Did something bad happen to him?" Milly and Merrick wasn't the perfect siblings. They have some differences but they still love each other.

"Nothing bad happened to him. He was simply stuck with all the paper works he need to finish until tonight. He asked me if I could accompany you in Diagon alley instead of him."

"Thanks but no thanks. It was Merrick's obligation to come with me to Diagon alley, not yours. Besides I do not want to bother you. You sure have a lot of things to take care of than taking me Christmas shopping."

"Millicent, helping you buy presents is not a waste of time. I'm finish with all my work in the ministry, earlier than I expected. So you won't bother me at all." Lucius assured her. Milly can't think of any occasions where Lucius had failed her. Even her friends told bad things about him, she still considered Lucius like an older brother.

"That's great!" Milly clapped her hand and slid her hand on Lucius'. She took him near to the fireplace. Lucius chuckled to see how enthusiastic Milly was.

"Tell mum I'll be going to Diagon alley with Lucius."She told Turdy.

The two came to Diagon alley without breaking any sweat. They had travelled using the floo powder. It's very convenient for witches and wizards who do not know how to apparate. The Mortox manor was connected to the floo network. They had spent four hours by buying gifts to Milly's friends. Milly wanted to give her friend the thing that they have passion with. Like Remus who love books. She's excited to come back at Hogwarts. She can't bear being locked inside the manor with nothing to do. Hogwarts was much better than home even she got into several detentions. At least she's spending detentions with her friends. Milly could only leave the house if they were going to attend gatherings and balls, which Milly doesn't like one bit. She was only allowed to go whenever she got someone older to accompany her. She isn't a kid anymore but her parents were treating her like one. Milly was sick of it. After an exhausting afternoon, Milly and Lucius ate. The place was crowded but maybe it was only because it's two days and it's Christmas.

"Lucius you've got dirt on your cheeks." Milly smiled at him. Milly pointed the spot where the dirt was located. Lucius quickly took a napkin and wiped the spot that Milly before. Milly bit giggled when Lucius wasn't successful to remove the dirt.

"Here."Milly took the napkin and wiped the spot gently. She threw the napkin and continued to eat. While she's eating her food, Milly can feel Lucius' gaze on her. She thought that she might also have dirt on her face. Milly find it awkward whenever someone was looking at her for a long time.

"Is there any dirt on my face?" Milly asked grabbing a napkin.

"There is no dirt on your face Milly. I was simply dazzled by your beauty." He smiled. Milly was used at getting compliments but it's the first time Lucius had said something like that to her. Maybe he's just fooling around? Milly focused her gaze on her food. She knew that Lucius was a good flatterer. No wonder why many pureblood women liked him. Many boys on Milly's age had tried to ask her out but she refused all of them.

"Don't be foolish. I know that you are such a charmer, Lucius. No wonder many ladies liked you." Milly chuckled. If Millicent wasn't close to Lucius, she could have blushed when Lucius said that she was beautiful.

"Is it already a crime to tell the truth?" Lucius asked acting to be hurt. Lucius liked Milly. She was independent, fierce, and stubborn and was not afraid to show herself. That's what Lucius was looking for a girl.

"For you it is." Milly laughed, so did Lucius.

We better get going. I have to tell Turdy to wrap all the gifts, so that I'll be able to send them tomorrow night." Millicent said getting up from the chair. She took all the paper bags that contained the gifts she'll be giving her friends.

"Let me take those." He said getting the bags from Milly.

"You know that I can carry those. It is not that heavy." Milly smiled getting the bags that Lucius took.

"Nope and that's final." Lucius smirked raising the bags that he was holding. Millicent can't reach the bags because she was shorter than Lucius.

"Fine but don't go complaining later, alright?" She crossed her arms, glaring playfully at Lucius.

"Sure" Lucius smirked and let Milly led the way to the nearest Floo network. It didn't take them long before they reached the Mortox manor. Millicent wasn't thrilled to be home. She needed to endure a few more days and she'll be back at Hogwarts. Millicent went first, followed by Lucius. Unknown to them, Mildred was eagerly waiting for them. She was conversing with her husband, Marcus when the two appeared in the fireplace.

"The two would make a wonderful couple. Do they?" Mildred whispered to her husband then left him to greet the two.

"How was your day, darling?" Mildred pecked her daughter's cheeks.

"Fine, mum." Milly smiled.

" I hope you didn't bother Lucius here. Did Millicent behave well, Lucius?" Mildred asked with a grin on her face.
"Milly would never be a bother to me. It is my pleasure to help your daughter." Lucius smiled looking at Milly.

"Splendid. Do you want to have dinner with us?" Mildred asked Lucius.

"I'm afraid I have to go. My parents and I have… business to attend to but thanks for the offer though. Goodbye Mrs. and Mr. Mortox. Millicent." He waved goodbye at them and used the floo network on the fireplace to go home.
